Scenario

When teams can't align actions with stated values around work culture

My startup team talks a big game about work-life balance and mental health, but when crunch time comes we all just work 70-hour weeks and pretend it's temporary. We're all burning out but nobody wants to be the one to say we need to actually change how we operate, not just how we talk about operating.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group maintains a collective fiction about their values while their actual behavior contradicts those values.
